32 vs 32... Lagtacular. 16 vs 16 would be fun though, Homefront is doing that currently with one of their gametypes. But, We would definately need dedicated servers. And for Invasion, they should add AI's to each side. That way it would really feel like an "Invasion"

343i will most likely have their own special armor and armor effects. They will probably give it out for a day and then make one piece unlockable forever like in Halo 3. Green flames maybe?

Come on people, keep this alive.

Yeah but I've seen maps on other games that have some cool effects. Why can't Halo have one? I would especially like seeing that structure move closer each second that the game goes on. Maybe you can even see Cortana in that room sitting in the kind of ball seen in Halo: Reach and she's searching through data and you could see Chief inside the tube too. Although a lot of people would probably be teabagging Cortana and Chief, but hey, more kills for whoever finds a whole group of people doing that.

I would want it to be more like Gears 3's Horde 2.0 gametype. They should make it where you purchase barriers, or you start with them and can pick them up and place them at places, and depending on your loadout, be able to fix certain defenses or not. Some loadouts could be mainly combat though.

So this would be a new multiplayer map for Halo 4. It could be set on the Forward Unto Dawn while it is exploding as seen in teh trailer, and during the game, it would be drifting closer to the structure. So, this would feature rooms that have some kind of gravity thing on, and the rest would be zero g, where you could float around, possibly use your thrusters? But anyways, the ship would be on fire and exploding. There would be more places than just seen in the trailer obviously. Weapon pickups could be floating around the map, so you can't guard a spot until the weapon spawns, it spawns wherever and floats around. But back to the map, you could go up to higher floors, by going through holes or stairs or even going outside the ship and flying up to the next floor and back in. Having it so you can go outside, would allow the map to be bigger, Snipers could go out here. You could have something like the altitude lock with your thrusters, this would be unlimited. But bigger bursts of the thrusters take away energy. But the outside part would allow for more room and diversity and even balance. I'm not sure if vehicles should be in this map or not, maybe some new, very small vehicle that shoots plasma bolts, like the ghost, but it flies. It would be even smaller though, and be built in a circular way around the person, would be a Forerunner vehicle, maybe have very weak lazers (Weak compared to other lazers) on it instead. But this would be a great map, allowing zero g environments and fun gameplay. Would you like this map? Edit: Sorry forgot to add this. While the match is going on, the Forward Unto Dawn would draw closer to the structure until the game is over. In the last couple seconds, the screen dramatically gets brighter until you can't even see anymore (Happens when time is up) and dramatic music is played throughout the whole match (Perhaps music made just for this map, that would last exactly as long as the match would, that would be awesome) and reach a climax in the last couple seconds.

I would say make it so you can take on object and resize it, and add skins to it to make it look human, covenant, or forerunner, or whatever. Also make it so you can open doors, but I think that would introduce a lot of camping with the shotgun, someone opens the door and they get a chest full of led. But I would like it so that it opens and there is a shield inbetween the door, so you can see if someone is there first atleast.

Make me a sammich Cortana...

Add more vehicles, especially Forerunner vehicles since that seems to be the enemy in the game. Also make it so you can add skins to objects, everything was like the same color. I want to be able to make some Covenant Structures that are atleast the color of Covenant Structures.

This would be cool. It would pretty much just be an enhanced theater mode that allows for an actual slow mo and some other cool effects. And probably something like making your Spartan be able to fall. But there's a new bill about not being able to make machinimas or something so tehy probably won't.

I'm hoping a Beta for Halo 4. This should only be if you pre-order or buy it the day it comes out or people would just by the game to get into the Halo 4 Beta.

It should be like Halo 4.

Maybe in Forge only? Not in multiplayer, as everyone would make super rocket hogs or Lazer hogs or lazer falcons/pelicans if there in the game.

NOOOO! I thought you meant ADS, as in Advertisements. Halo should have Advertisements because I never see any on TV. Maybe they could make some deals with some popular channels, and get more poeple. But back to what you were saying before. NOOOO! Halo would be ruined. I want to play Halo, not any other FPS like CoD, Homefront, Crysis, and other games. Halo is totally different and should stay that way. All that should change is the story, new weapons, and gamemodes/gametypes. And other things that wouldn't ruin the game, only make it better.

Hey 343i! So I was just watching the Horde 2.0 briefing for Gears 3, and thought, why aren't there any defenses in Halo FF? Wait... we're not defending anything at all... This is the problem with FF, it's fun at first, but it gets boring. Why? You just slaughter the Covenant with Power Weapons. Nobody even uses the normal weapons like an AR, DR, PR, etc... We need something to defend. And less power weapons. So, I was thinking, for specific maps, there would be strategic layouts of where to set up your defenses. There could be several places to set up. You could set up inside, outside, in a cave, whatever the map offers. Maybe even on the beach, if that's the setting of the map. So, you set up there, and you suddenly have all these options to build defenses. You could build AA guns (Slow or even stop more Covenant reinforcements from coming), Plasma Barriers (Slows and hurts enemies), Marine decoy with bombs strapped around it (Self explanatory), Vehicle Hangar maybe? (Vehicles would spawn here), call weapon drops or do side achievements to get them (how you get power weapons, but limited ammo), and you could do some other defenses, maybe even call in Marines. It would be made so it still has that Halo feel to it. Also, there would be stronger enemies, ranging from Grunts to Gravemind (Or whatever is the weakest, and worthless enemy in the game, to the strongest that would be like bosses). New enemies would have to be made, like Forerunners if they're included in the game to add more variety during the fights. There could also be something similar to Gears 3's Beast mode, where you play as the Covenant, and whatever other enemies you fight in regular Firefight 3.0. It wouldn't involve bosses though. It would start with something like grunts and jackals. The next tier could be skirmishers and something else that's okay in strength. Next tier would be something like brutes. Next would be Elites and such. It would end with Hunters and some other extremely tough units, maybe you can play as forerunners and/or the flood. Everyone would love this kind of mode, as they do in Gears. Tell me if there's anything else you think should be added and your thoughts on this. Thanks!

But they're all great. I just want to know other people's opinions. I'm thinking Gears 3 first, then Halo: CEA, maybe Skyrim or something else for Christmas, and Mass Effect 3 for my birthday. I might get LOTR: War of the North too. It seems decent.

So all of you know about the games coming out soon, starting with Gears 3, and ending with Mass Effect 3 (That's by date). So which ones should I get? So far I know i'm getting Halo: CEA. I'm thinking about getting Gears of War 3 as well. I can probably get only one other game. And the two games are far enough away in release time to where I can get both. My birthday is also 4 days before the release of Mass Effect 3, so I might get that (It releases in March) for my Birthday, and I could get another one of the games late. So tell me, a list of the best games coming out in that period (Gears 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, CoD MW3, Halo: CEA, etc...) in order of what you think I should get. Thanks!

Sorry for the Name guys, I couldn't really think of a Good one atm. So here's what it would be: This would be a Firefight Gametype, that would have it's own playlist. It would be more like FF Versus, but the Human team would also have AI's and they would be dropped from Pelicans. Vehicles would also be dropped when the other team gets them too, to balance it out. It would pretty much be a HUGE battle that would go on until the game ends, and whichever team has the most points, wins. This would be awesome, and very enjoyable. You wouldn't be able to spawn with power weapons though, as that wouldn't be very fair. And if you died during the Wave, you wouldn't be able to spawn until the next wave. Each wave, more troops are dropped off for both sides, and if you died last wave, you're dropped off in a Pelican/Phantom/Other Dropship along with your troops. This would make much more sense and it would be awesome to make a movie out of this. Please add this along with Floodfight, which is self explainatory. Thanks!

Cooler ways to spawn that actually make sense (Dropped from HEV Pod [One time only], then Pelicans drop you or Falcons do the rest of the time. Perhaps a Barracks where you come out of). More Vehicles (Please put Phantoms and Pelicans, everyone wants them. And a campaign mission where you control something like a Scarab). Forerunner weapons (Don't add any new weapons unless they're Forerunner or whatever else we'll be fighting. No more human weapons unless you're replacing them like the DMR with the BR). More customization Better Elite/Brute customization (Wouldn't make sense to be fighting Elites, we're friends now, possibly Forerunner customization if they replace Elites). WAY better Forge (Better stuff in general). Better Invasion gameplay (Add AI's so it feels like an actual Invasion instead of only 6 people invading your base, that's not even a small skirmish). Better Gametypes (Come up with a lot of good ideas please, we need to entertain ourselves). Floodfight (Name describes it all). New FF Gametype (Can't figure out a name yet, but it would pretty much be like FF Versus, But the Spartans also get AI's on there side each round, so it's like a huge Battle).

Same weapons, maybe some forerunner weapons, that would replace covenant ones but aren't too strong. Don't want to ruin the game.

This has been thought by atleast half of the people who play Reach, including me. The first time I played it in Reach, I thought It would be a Flood charging at me. I was dissapointed. They should definately do this in Halo 4 and make a Floodfight, which I hope they do for the Halo CE FF Map, especially if it's the library. That would be awesome, although nobody would play the other maps mosty likely unless they're like 10 and are scared of the Flood with the Reach graphics. Would be awesome.

It would have to fit with the gametype, not in a pod everytime. Maybe in a crashing ship for an Invasion map if Elites are attacking, and in a ODST Pod if the Spartans are attacking. Sky diving, i'm not sure about. You're wearing full battle armor, I don't think tht would work. You would then spawn from your pod or the crashed ship.

I think Hayabusa should come in Halo 4. Or it comes with the maps that you can download into Reach.

Hey 343i. So I wanted to ask you something, what will you be doing with Reach? Will you be adding any title updates? Or adding any new playlists or editing any old ones (Please add AI's in Invasion so it actually seems like an Invasion)? Thanks.

Maybe MC isn't human. We haven't seen his face. But I think Forerunners, they're new and most likely the enemy in Halo 4 so it would make sense. Either them or Brutes as Brutes still hate us and are part of what's left of the Covenant.
